Girls Gone Self-Gifting!
Artwork by libbyvanderploeg.com
Ho! Ho! Home is where we will all undoubtedly be distanced for the holidays. So if there’s any year to practice self-gifting, ladies, 2020 is it.
We know you’ve been extra nice - caring for family, friends, neighbors, pets, homes, work, business, and the well-being of our future. We also know you haven’t always remembered to be extra nice to yourselves.
The next time you feel the need to check a few boxes off a list, make sure it’s off our Girls Gone 50 Self-Gifting Guide. And look for the special GG50 promo codes that are our presents to you. Time to be naughty, not just nice.
